Compost in Style!

In a time when everyone is thinking about ‘going greener’ we are continually looking to our kitchen to find ways to reduce waste, reuse materials, and of course, recycle. One of the best ways to do this is through compost but rather than have an unpleasant mess under your sink, in a plastic bag that constantly attracts fruit flies, place your organic matter in this mini-compost bin that is creatively designed in the shape and style of a crockpot!

This beautiful Compost Crock is available from www.thanksdarling.com and costs only £20.00 but what it has in looks it is at least equal to in practicality and functionality. Simply place it on any counter where it will be able to become the center of attention and have your family and friends scrape their waste into it. Once finished, close the lid and it will be forgotten until you take it to your flowerbed and shower it with delicious nutrients. In the meantime, the actual compost this crock does will be very subtle (and odorless!) as it is fitted with an activated carbon filter to keep all of the unpleasantries inside of the crock and outside of your kitchen! The holes on the top allow for more efficient composting as it allows the air to circulate and the beautiful design will have all of your friends wanting one! And when it does need a quick wash, toss it in the dishwasher - how could composting be any easier?
